what are you looking forward to? everything french. reporter: there is perhaps no one like louise lynn ton, the actress, movie producer and wife of treasury secretary steven mnuchen. linton, who infamously instagramed herself deplaning a government jet two years ago, pointing out the designer clothes and accessories she was wearing, has since opted for a lower profile, trying to rehab her image. but a revealing new interview in los angeles magazine shows that linton, now based in l.a., is still making waves. she says, if i was doing this right i would bewaring a swim sweater set and pearls, but that s not her. she s an actress. she lives in hollywood. so in some ways she kind of does break the mold. reporter: like unprovoked, deciding to jump into her swimming pool in the middle of the interview. what is clear, washington, d.c.
